Misty Frost, CEO of Carrus, is here to tell us more about what they are doing to ease the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on healthcare learners.\\n \\nMISTY FROST\\n \\nAt Carrus, we help people improve their lives and advance their careers through exceptional healthcare learning. Our two training and continuing education solutions, CareerStep and CareerCert, are designed to meet the distinct needs of future and current healthcare workers.\\n \\nSince 1992, Carrus has trained more than 140,000 healthcare professionals. We know a thing or two about what helps e-learning healthcare learners stay the course. Carrus examined trends in e-learning dropout rates, performed market research, and launched the AdvantEDGE coaching program in 2020 to help raise student program completion rates.\\n \\nAs COVID-19 ravaged the world, Carrus quickly responded. Our CareerStep division launched much needed courses for healthcare workers, like infection prevention. We also introduced several accelerated courses, like contact tracing, to help healthcare professionals meet urgent needs and help those out of work retrain and get back to work quickly. \\n \\nDEREK MILLER\\n \\nThis pandemic has certainly shined a light on the importance of our healthcare industry and the heroes who sustain it, and we are grateful for the training Carrus provides.
